<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to t300</font>, 3 folds, Hero?

UTG is 10/7 thru 200 hands 7-10 handed and def a winning player.

IF UTG is a good player he is holding probably JJ+ and probably not AQ.

Best case scenario you are 50 - 50 if not well behind.

With no reads I would shove, in this particular case I fold.

You have position call and see a flop?

Luisgallo · #4 03-26-2007, 10:35 AM

you are not deep enough to call.
UT knows that, he clearly wants action.

I fold vs this guy

Push it. You've got FE and a good UTG range here should be ~ 88+, AJ+.

mnlgrind · #7 03-26-2007, 11:10 AM

your read = easy fold.

FE? I think UTG is calling here, no doubt.

Finnisher · #8 03-26-2007, 11:13 AM

I don't like calling much esp if you think he won't cbet worse hands when you flop a pair. I don't like shoving too much either cos you'll def have much better spots coming up, this seems marginal at best. QQ+ for me altho I'd probably shove AK, JJ in game. I'm thinking this against my own UTG range which may be way off.

or more like JJ+, AK from UTG, given his stats

Because villain is raising UTG and its 50/100 I could probably find a fold, but I can see myself shoving as well. Had this been 75/150 or a later level I will always be shoving over with AK no matter who it is.
